The Regional Center of Orange County Board of Directors provides policy leadership and oversight of RCOC on behalf of the community. Board members volunteer their time, serving on committees that make policy recommendations to the board as a whole, and leading initiatives in areas such as housing and legislation.

The Regional Center of Orange County's Bylaws and Board of Directors' Governance Policies are linked below.

Board members do not represent themselves alone or any special interest group.  However, the active participation by individuals with developmental disabilities, parents and other family members helps to ensure that RCOC remains sharply focused on the Orange County community’s needs.

There are several governance models that a nonprofit board may follow to identify the roles of the Board and the Executive Director for their organization.  The Regional Center of Orange County's Board of Directors has chosen the Carver Model of board governance, which is a policy governance model.  For more than 10 years, the RCOC Board has followed the Carver Model because it is the best model for maximizing RCOC’s success in meeting the goals described in the Lanterman Act.  Please see the presentation below to learn more about the Carver Model.

The public is invited to attend Board meetings, which take place in the Board room at RCOC’s Santa Ana office, located at 1525 North Tustin Avenue. Check the monthly calendar for the next scheduled Board meeting.
